I was thinking about it and I don't think I've ever sung in a choir with a female director (except for one weekend all-state choir when Dr Jing Lin Tam had laryngitis and shared my vocal range anyways) Other than that every single choir of decent quality I've ever sung with has had a male director.

Was gonna buy new foldy iphone and even woke up at 4:58 am to be early but by the time I got to checkout it was already saying "will be delivered in 2-3 weeks" and that was enough to make me say "not delivered on release day? I'll save the $2200" so now my budgeting for the last few months was not 0

That was supposed to say budgeting was for naught but again and I cannot stress this enough it's 5 am.

Anyone looking to be radicalized? Bought this SSD a year and two months ago (Augusr 2, 2025) for $319.99. It is now advertised on Corsair Dot Com for $1554.99.

The checkout lady at Costco was monumentally rude to me when she scanned all my precooked meals but it didn't stop me from meal prepping 38 meals for $250.

Here's the meal list: Enchiladas (beans) x4 gnocchi (Texas toast) x4 Chicken Alfredo (broccoli) x4 Mac&cheese/bbq pork (broccoli) x4 Stuffed peppers (broccoli) x3 Chicken wings (rice pilaf) x4 Meatloaf/taters (broccoli)x3 Shepherds Pie (roast carrots)x6 Pot pie (green beans)x6

Are there cheaper and healthier ways to meal prep? Yes, but this is where I'm at and it's cheaper than doordash 🙏

(if you were wondering, she looked in my cart and said "I can tell YOU'RE a bachelor." Like bitch what if I am? What if my wife is in the hospital and I'm feeding our 5 kids? What if I have chronic illness and prepped meals is the closest I can get to cooking? What if I'm having surgery soon?)

Reading books that make me feel emotions until after midnight. God why do they have to make the books cause Emotions and why do I keep reading them?

Thinking about how I used to answer scam calls in Chinese “喂?你好” etc. and then one time I did that after a number called me like 6 times in a row and it was actually one of the people i knew from Taiwan visiting the US who wanted to chat with me lmao

Yo can we all boycott Best Buy? What's the point of preordering something with in-store pickup if they don't even have it ready? "It's still on the truck that is getting here tonight" If anyone wants a collector's edition of the new Fire Emblem the Best Buy near me will have one at some point.

I forgot a funny: nickname is Danny btw -- I started a pf2e group in person with strangers from reddit/discord (in part so I can get used to having people call me Danny that don't know my actual first name). First guy walks in. Name is Daniel. Next guy walks in. Also Daniel.

My neighbor whose son shares the nickname I chose came over with his wife and some friends to play Pathfinder. I put a bunch of "hello my name is" stickers on the front of my notebook so they could ask about it but they didn't T.T

So now I'm Danny and we have Daniel and Dan. Maybe not that funny but as someone who has rarely shared a name with anyone at all ever it was EXTREMELY novel to me to have two people with a similar name.

In an unexpected twist my mother is being extremely normal today which is unexpected. (still gonna call her later in case she wants to verbally rebuke me I'm normal and not a glutton for punishment)

I don't really care THAT much if people at church (where I know my neighbor from) call me it or not (like I would like if they did but not enough to actively tell everyone to call me it) but also I would not NOT like it, you know? If I move to a new congregation at any point, sure I'll use it but...

I hate the 4 hours before anything where my brain says "it's four hours until xyz so you better not do anything besides sit and stress about it"

With their parents' permission, I interviewed Riley about their self-dubbed "master plan" to prank Harrow, and whether we should, in fact, be more frightened of children. (Riley says yes.)

I updated my Amazon account to use the nickname instead of my real name. Apparently I was on a family plan with my parents because my mom goes "who is (nickname) and why are they tied to your account" (the goal was for my mom to never find out because she's been really upset about name related

Ya had the boys over last week calling it all week. I'm asking new people to call me this nickname going forward for sure (and introducing it as an option for people who already know me)

measured response (when i was considering a legal name change a few years ago she called me crying and said "You're breaking my heart"). (Her response was "You can keep the name on the account as (nickname) if you want.")

Anyways so I might fr*ck around and go add my nickname on LinkedIn now (my only social media that I have non-brother family added on, and he already knew)

Told a couple more friends about the nickname today. They both said they liked it so that's feels good. Also shopping cars and giving the nickname to salesman and it feels good there too. This might be a good thing?

Bought a new car today (as a second car because I'm a dumbass not a replacement). '24 Kia EV6. 18k miles. Electric car so that I can avoid gas prices.
